Windows Live Photo Gallery encountered an error and cannot start.

Whenever I try to open Windows Live Photo Gallery , this message will appear:

“Windows Live Photo Gallery encountered an error and cannot start.

Error code 0x80070002”

I have the latest version of WLPG. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program and the repair option. The Microsoft Fix it says it succeeded, but the problem still persist. The strange thing is that when I open My Pictures then open a folder and select a picture it opens in WLPG, but if I then click on Edit, the program crashes.

If anyone can tell me how to fix this problem I would be very grateful.

Since you have already tried the repair option and Microsoft Fix it as well, then here is what I can suggest you try.

It is possible that there may be some components that are corrupted or missing.

Try doing an offline install, here is the link: Install any essentials that you might need aside from windows live photo gallery. Getting the latest windows update might also resolve the problem that you are currently experiencing with windows live photo gallery.

If WLPG was working properly before or if this is just a recent issue that you noticed.

Then I would suggest to try doing a system restore and restore your computer to a date that you recall that WLPG was working.
